The faint morning light had barely appeared when Xu Chang was urgently summoned by Lin Yin to a corner of the training ground.

Looking at the mysterious youth before him.

Xu Chang felt bewildered.

"Senior Brother, I want to move. Move closer to the martial arts school. Do you know anyone who can help?"

Lin Yin's face was pale, and he looked extremely nervous.

"Move? And move near the martial arts school? Why?"

Xu Chang looked surprised, not understanding why Lin Yin, who usually only knew how to bury his head in training, suddenly wanted to move.

"Senior Brother, don't you know?"

Lin Yin, with a pale face, looked at Xu Chang with feigned surprise.

"Know what?"

Xu Chang was still confused. Just as Lin Yin was about to speak, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the boxing gym's courtyard.

Disciples were exclaiming, and some were even shouting "Martial Uncle Yun Kai" while rushing towards the inner courtyard, looking extremely urgent.

Seeing this disturbance, Xu Chang frowned slightly. Lin Yin, still pale, whispered.

"Li Qianjiang... Senior Brother Li's body is on Sanyuan Street, not far from the boxing gym."

"What!"

Even though he didn't get along well with Li Qianjiang, Xu Chang couldn't help but exclaim at this moment. He immediately stopped asking for details and hurried to pull Lin Yin along in the direction the disciples were rushing.

Along the way, they encountered Yun Kai, who was coming out of a side room.

His expression was grim. As he walked, both the living stakes and the disciples scattered, not daring to block his path.

Lin Yin and Xu Chang simply followed behind Yun Kai, and the group arrived outside the boxing gym together.

As soon as they stepped out, the scene before them made their hearts clench.

Bailiffs, dressed in blue-black short jacket outfits, stood in small groups, seemingly waiting for a long time. On the white shrouds placed by the entrance, there were scattered red marks, which were shocking to behold.

Yun Kai stepped forward amidst the tense and indignant gazes of the disciples.

"Master Yun, Li Qianjiang was a disciple of your school, so I specifically brought him here for you. According to our initial investigation, he seems to have been killed by someone skilled in Inner Strength..."

Before the leading bailiff could finish speaking, Yun Kai stopped him with a gesture.

He didn't even respond to the bailiff leader first, but instead quickly stepped forward and uncovered the white shroud.

No one dared to stop them. The bailiffs standing on both sides wisely retreated to the side. The Bailiff Leader also stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly with his eyes closed.

Tiancong Kingdom enjoys Martial Prosperity, so even the government offices guarding local areas have to show respect to these martial arts schools and even sect masters.

Therefore, the Bailiff Leader did not take Yun Kai's seemingly outrageous behavior to heart, nor did he interfere with the private examination of the corpse.

As the shroud was lifted, Yun Kai's somber expression changed slightly. The disciples behind him, who were peeking, were in an uproar.

Li Qianjiang's eyes were wide open, bleeding from his seven orifices, and a Crimson Palm Print was faintly visible in the sunken areas of his face.

"This..."

Looking at the palm print on his face, Yun Kai's eyes flickered. He didn't know what he was thinking. He remained silent and slowly covered the shroud again.

"Master Yun, if I'm not mistaken, your disciple was killed with a single palm strike. Do you know what palm technique this is?"

The Bailiff Leader, who had been closing his eyes, couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't know..."

Yun Kai slowly put his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly fixed on the distant street. No one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information, the Bailiff Leader showed a helpless expression and then simply cupped his hands in resignation.

"In that case, your disciple will be handed over to you, Master Yun..."

With that, he waved his hand, and he led the bailiffs away.

On the ground, the corpse placed quietly at the Fist Manor Entrance was shocking. The disciples who had just rushed out of the manor were in an uproar again.

Some were indignant, shouting to find the murderer. Some were pale with fear. Even more whispered about Li Qianjiang's whereabouts last night.

Lin Yin, who was among the crowd, looked at Xu Chang, whose face was equally solemn, and then focused on Yun Kai, who stood silently beside the corpse, lost in thought.

The question the Bailiff Leader had just asked Yun Kai about the palm technique made Lin Yin's heart pound.

Fortunately, this Second Master of the Lingyun Martial Arts School said nothing.

However, Lin Yin remained vigilant. If anyone could recognize this palm technique, with Yun Kai's palm technique at Perfection, how could he not see it?

He didn't say anything in front of the bailiffs this time, likely to avoid causing chaos among the disciples in the manor. Lin Yin naturally couldn't let his guard down.

"Xu Chang..."

Just as Lin Yin was contemplating, Yun Kai, who was standing by the corpse, suddenly spoke, calling Xu Chang over.

After a brief conversation, Lin Yin could only observe from the corner of his eye. He saw Yun Kai walk into the manor, while Xu Chang directed two disciples to carry Li Qianjiang's body inside.

For the entire day, a gloomy atmosphere permeated the entire Fist Manor.

Junior Brother Lin Yin was still practicing Cloud Palm in his secluded corner as usual, but unlike his usual swiftness, his palm strikes were a bit sparse, and his qi circulation seemed to be not smooth.

As it approached You Shi in the afternoon, Senior Brother Xu Chang hurried back.

"Junior Brother Lin Yin, I've found a place for you," Senior Brother Xu Chang brought good news as soon as they met.

Junior Brother Lin Yin's heart was uplifted.

"Senior Brother, you went out to find me a house?"

While happy, Junior Brother Lin Yin was also a little surprised. He was helping him find a house at this time, wasn't Senior Brother Xu being a bit too kind?

However, his doubts were soon dispelled.

"No, I went to appease Li Qianjiang's Family. I handed over the body to them. As for finding a house, it's because I'm also planning to move."

When Senior Brother Xu Chang spoke, Junior Brother Lin Yin was stunned again.

"You're moving too?"

"It's not just me..."

Senior Brother Xu Chang's face carried a solemn and doubtful expression.

"It's arranged by Master. Starting this month, all officially admitted disciples of the martial arts school will have to move near the school. So, you should prepare yourself during this period."

"All disciples moving near the martial arts school."

Junior Brother Lin Yin's heart trembled slightly. This was a result he had never expected.

Just then, Senior Brother Xu Chang suddenly whispered, "Your worries are justified. The situation has been a bit unfavorable recently. In fact, Master and the others have had this idea for a long time. Junior Brother Li Qianjiang's incident served as a wake-up call for them."

"..."

Looking at Senior Brother Xu Chang, who seemed hesitant and unwilling to discuss further, Junior Brother Lin Yin nodded thoughtfully, but felt relieved in his heart.

Good, very good...

No matter what, the more people there are, the bigger the commotion, and the better it would be for him.

Whether it was the investigation within the martial arts school or the suspicion from Li Qinhu, the current situation was, in a way, an opportunity for Junior Brother Lin Yin.

With his thoughts settled, Junior Brother Lin Yin continued to practice martial arts. Even though some people were already preparing to go home, he did not let up on his training time at all.
